I did a little poking around here and didn't think I saw this ability outside of feature requests. So hopefully someone can prove me wrong.
I need to export a large result set (from query) into HTML (though the client thinks they want Excel). The output is from a forum so the records are large and are loaded with newlines and bbcode tags. Which is to say that even carefully escaped CSV -> Excel looks terrible with columns and rows getting mis-aligned.
The client wants a daily dump that they can download from our web server.
The output from “Tools/Export all rows of table/data result as…” is very nice and seems to handle these nicely. I think what I want to do is run this on a daily, scheduled basis. Can I do this?
I wish mysql had a SELECT … INTO HTML option..
